During the two years after he performed on the Miles Davis album Kind of Blue, Bill Evans (piano) collaborated with Scott LaFaro (base) and Paul Motian (drums) to develop an innovative, interactive style of piano trio playing. That trio's work culminated in performances recorded live at the Village Vanguard on June 25, 1961, and released as the Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby albums, each of which is commonly listed among the best live jazz albums of all time. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of those recordings, the Central Illinois Jazz Society presents an evening devoted to the music of Bill Evans. A set of Evans compositions will be followed by a set of piano trio pieces selected from the 1961 recordings. Featured musicians will include George Turner on guitar, Derel Monteith on piano, Andy Crawford on bass, and Jason Brannon on drums. Sponsored by Greg and Jodi Peine. .
